30 Quotes by Matt Kiefer

Whenever you have the type of shooters (Ohio State has) and the inside play in (Terence) Dials, its tough to defend them. They do a lot of good things as far as being active and getting their hands on loose balls on rebounds and things of that sort.

I don't know what to say about that play. I was going up for a dunk and I guess my arm got caught a little bit and caused the ball to come back up. I guess it didn't go all the way through the net. It's just one of those weird plays that the basketball gods ... they didn't let the ball go through. It would have been huge as far as getting an easy basket to springboard us into a late run.

I think that thought process will go through my mind whenever the season is over with, (then) I'll get to that. I'll have a lot of time on my hands without basketball, so I'll be able to reflect on that.

Marcus is doing a good job as far as brining energy and athleticism and doing things we need him to do. He's done that the last three or four games.
